DIPTI METAL INDUSTRIES
Dipti Metal Industries is a Leading global API 6A Type 6BX Blind Flange Manufacturer, API 6A Type 6BX 2000 PSI Flange Supplier & API 6A Type 6BX 2000 PSI Flange Exporter of 13.8 MPa (2000 PSI) flanged products for high-integrity, severe service in Mumbai, India. The **Type 6BX** flange is the bolt-preloaded version of API 6A connections, utilizing **BX Ring Type Joint (RTJ) Gaskets** for a high-metal-to-metal seal with maximum resistance to external bending moments. Although typically used for higher pressures, our offering for 2000 PSI focuses on large bore (e.g., 26 3/4" and 30") **Blind Flanges** used for sealing pressure vessel and wellhead equipment openings. We ensure supply meets all material classes (DD, EE, FF) and Product Specification Levels (PSL 1-4), adhering strictly to NACE MR0175/ISO 15156 for sour service. Find certified API 6A 6BX Flanges and Fittings here.
Founded in 2009 in Mumbai, India, we are a specialized global API 6A Flange Manufacturer and API 6A Type 6BX 2000 PSI Flange Exporter focused on high-integrity components for the energy sector. We understand the stringent requirements of API 6A PSL levels and manufacture all our Type 6BX 2000 PSI flanges, especially large bore Blind Flanges, to meet or exceed the required pressure, temperature, and material certification standards. Our capability for large-diameter, high-quality forged flanges ensures reliable deliveries to critical oilfield and upstream projects globally.
The API 6A Type 6BX connection is designed for greater strength and resistance to bending loads than the Type 6B. It is a **bolt-preloaded** connection, relying on the high mechanical strength of the bolts to maintain a seal even under high external stresses. The BX connection features a taller integral flange hub and uses only **Type BX Ring Gaskets**, which are designed to pressure-energize and utilize the full face of the groove for maximum seal integrity. This design is critical for permanent, high-integrity seals, often implemented in large-diameter blind flanges.
